CHENNAI: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is preparing to question Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay in connection with the tragic stampede in Tamil Nadu’s Karur that claimed 41 lives, sources said.
The incident occurred on September 27 at Veluchamipuram in Karur during a campaign event led by Vijay.
A sudden surge in the crowd resulted in a deadly stampede, leaving 41 people dead and at least 110 others injured.
The tragedy triggered widespread outrage and demands for a thorough, independent investigation.
Taking cognisance of the case, the Supreme Court issued an interim order on October 13, transferring the investigation to the CBI.
The court also constituted a monitoring committee headed by retired Supreme Court judge Justice Ajay Rastogi to oversee the probe, underscoring the seriousness of the incident and the need for accountability.
